Mark has somewhat misdirected the thread here, either that or I've got
in a muddle, anyway, the issue at hand is that nose ignores
TestCase.countTestCases(). Any nose people know what that is?

This is true now, but I'm pretty sure when unittest was introduced, you
had to provide a test_suite function for test discovery to work.
Of course, that's the dim and distant past and so doesn't really matter.
However, the fact that nose ignores a test_suite method is a bug, plain
and simple ;-)
